Knoppix on a USB flash drive

I’ve been trying to install the Knoppix 5.1.1 on my Sony 4GB flash drive with the following configuration:
(my flash drive mounts as sdb)

/dev/sdb1 - FAT16 <750MB> (partition with Knoppix on it)

/dev/sdb2 - ext2 <250MB> (partition for persistent image)

/dev/sdb3 - FAT32 <~3GM> (additional storage for Linux and WinD0Ze)

I’ve been following the instructions on this page:

USB KNOPPIX 5.1.1 persistent install from Linux

and this page:

Bootable USB Key

(or at least a hybrid of the two documents)

So far. . . .no luck. I’m going to try it again on my 1GB flash drive for proof of concept since i have had other linux distros on it using syslinux. If this works, then i’ll have to figure out what’s preventing it from working on the 4GB flash drive.
